Gayngs' Tour Bus Found!

On Saturday night, slow jam masters Gayngs' tour bus with all of their gear and personal belongings in it was stolen en route to the Austin City Limits festival. According to a statement from the band, the bus's driver was not able to be reached and the crew reported the robbery at 4:20 a.m. Sunday morning.

UPDATE: Well, turns out the bus was not stolen! All of the band's equipment is currently safe in Nashville, where the tour bus company CJ Star Buses is based, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The company apparently told their driver to return to the headquarters early because the band was late in paying a $6,000 bill, according to CJ Star Buses's CJ Curtsinger. Gayngs do not agree with this claim, but it looks like they'll get their stuff back. Click here for the full Star Tribune story.

UPDATE 2: And now Gayngs (and Bon Iver) singer Justin Vernon is giving the band's side of the story. He wrote on his blog: "While it is totally 'Gayngs' to not pay bills... we were given no warning of our gear being taken and it was absolutely our every intention to pay our bill. Matter of fact, me and Lewis just paid it. In person. In Nashville. Flew there this morning. None of that changes the fact that our gear WAS stolen. And taken hostage. And caused us not to be able play. Gayngs feelings were fucking totally crushed; and tears were shed when we had to cancel what was possibly our last show ever."

The group were unable to play their set at the Austin City Limits festival, which was the final date on their tour. In a statement, the band wrote, "We are insanely bummed out by these events. We can only hope to have the opportunity to make it up to all of you. Thanks for your support on this tour. It was truly a dream come true."
